florence this was our second stop in italy and when it comes to the
Italian Renaissance art there is no best city in the world to visit
we spent our visit in florence admiring works of art in
museums and public spaces marveling at architecture
especially the duomo looking for best panoramic views and for
course eating a lot of pizza and dilated in this video we will share
with you what we think are the best things you should do in
florence so let's go
ok then let's talk about the plan for today we left our apartment at 7
and 45 in the morning that's pretty early for me and we have just arrived
the duomo is 8 o'clock in the morning and the plan is to climb the bell tower and also
climb to the dome of the church and They start selling tickets at 8 and
15 in the morning so we do online because yesterday there were a lot of people the
line went all around the church and I'm not sure it takes hours so
we have come quite early and that is the plan for today but let's talk a little
more about the entrance ticket we We paid 15 euros per person for a
ticket that gave us access to five attractions associated with the cathedral
Florence these include the belfry the baptistery the museum of works of
the cathedral the crypt and the dome another thing to remember is that there is also
to make a reservation to upload the dome since they only let in a
a certain number of people every 30 minutes
so here we are going up the bell tower I think there are 400 and 14
stairs and look at this, we have lists
also known as the campanile of iodine the bell tower has 80 and 47 meters
of height but luckily the tower has some terraces in between where one can
stop to rest and also enjoy the views of florence
after climbing the bell tower continue to the Baptistery of Florence
also known as the Baptistery of San Juan
this octagonal structure is covered with white marble slabs and
green and inside there's a ceiling mosaics that shine under the light
from there we continue to the opera museum of duomo that is a museum dedicated to the
conservation of works of art related to the cathedral
florence one of the main works inside this museum is the door to
paradise by lorenzo liberty which was recently restored
from there we enter the cathedral of florence and we go down the stairs to
go to visit the crypt where they find the ruins of the ancient
repaired santa cathedral
and finally we also went up to the dome of the Cathedral of Florence which
it is still the masonry dome largest ever built there is
challenge passages and narrow stairs but once it does not reach the top one
meets the best views panoramic of the city
Hello
and now that we have come down from the dome let's eat right away because we
we deserve
this is the theory is called chrome and has the best stories we tried
in Florence although here we have our ice creams what flavor to ask
director
and mine is mango
then this morning we are visiting the uffizi gallery that would be the
most famous gallery of art in all prudence and art is impressive
but now look at these ceilings
the official gallery has one of the most impressive art collections
around the world with a great focus on works of Italian Renaissance the greatest
part of the collection was donated to the City of Florence by Anna Maria Luisa
the last heiress of the Medici family another reason why visiting the
gallery ofisis are the views of ponte vecchio and the arno river and a small
advice it's worth getting there just before to open the doors to not have
to wait in a line like this more late in the day
ok then we have entered the department lunch is quite
active outside and we have been walking with a long time we entered a
pizzeria that's our fourth time of our pizzeria is called everything
big today we ask the napoli napoli napoli with tomato sauce cheese
mozzarella has oregano if these things do not know what they are called in
Spanish are clippers so if this is going to be our
lunch we have also ordered two broths with nutella of calzones that has another
meaning in spanish so I do not know if prices in our port
Another place we visited in Florence It was piazza della signoria here
find the haul lodge where one you can see statues of marble and bronze is
as a small sample of what is found within the galleries of
florence to see how the one who already escapes
honorable very well and makes the honor
wide and that's like an open-air museum free we have a lot of sculptures
here to visit and the most famous of all is the david by michelangelo
but this is not the original is a copy because the original is inside a
museum so I hope we'll say it to see and we do here but if this place
it's worth super interesting and a lots of very impressive sculptures
and talking about David if we find him inside the gallery of the academy
now we are inside the gallery academy to whom we are visiting
originally the plan was that two sculptures of ancient characters
testament were placed on the buttresses of the Cathedral of
florence statue of david being one of them but once the
sponsors of miguelángel saw the beauty of David decided that the
sculpture would be placed in a place where people could admire the in
piazza de la señoría
now we are inside a gallery full of sculptures and busts of plaster
and I'm going to show you
although then we just finished visit the academy gallery how much
cost what was the price 26 50 irons is already per person per person very well
in person and if this museum is a bit smaller than we expected so
that we were only here for an hour and we also arrived very early just
before they open so if there was not a lot of people and it's a fair
what we have there
old bridge and this is the only bridge who survived the second world war
It's a covered bridge and they want a bunch of little stores that are fuck and
scared and how can you see it because what is a medieval bridge that
It crosses the Arno River during the 16th century this bridge was full of butchers
they threw their remains into the river so one of the doctors ordered that the
butchers were replaced by jewelry and gold merchants one
tradition that we see to this day
another thing to do in Florence is enjoy the sunset from piazza le
michelangelo this is a square that located on a hill just south of
historic center and the other side of the river arno even though it was a middle day
cloudy we enjoyed a beautiful sunset who painted the city of roses just before
to hide
i
and now let's talk about food because another place that we have to them
recommend in Florence is the second floor of the central market where one can
try a lot of typical dishes then the next silver that we are
trying is called extra pool and this it's like pizza dough in the shape of
triangle and is filled with eggplant in tomato sauce has a little bit of
pesto of sopar table not on top but that you can ask for any filling that
you want there was chicken they have meat so if we go with the option
vegetarian
it's good
a lot of ketchup and dough is absorbing all that so be
super super super rich myth has I liked quite the one you asked for from the side
rum and raisin rum and pass if this program málaga málaga
we believe or even desire before I am art or if you prefer to cook the first floor
of the central market is a good place where to buy fresh ingredients like
we did
ok then this morning we went to visit the central market here in Florence and
We decided that we want to prepare a dish Italian in the department like that
we buy fresh pasta We ordered ravioli with ricotta cheese and
spinach and we also buy this weight green we buy parmigiano reggiano
we have the table
so if we are going to prepare our dinner samuel will also help me in the
cook and then we will enjoy it in family or who samuel tell us you're
preparing to leave them behind bull or like everything in red and good the meat in
my project is healthy and I just remembered the name of this
vegetable is eggplant and I could not accord experience
